Oregon Natural Step Network
The Oregon Natural Step Network supports organizations interested in using The Natural Step framework for sustainability. It is founded on the principle that businesses and organizations can reduce their impact on the environment while enhancing their overall efficiency and effectiveness. The Network seeks to align business and government practices with natural cycles that support the web of life.
Guided by a board of respected leaders from the business and non-profit communities, the Network offers the following programs:
- Introductory workshops about The Natural Step framework
- In-depth workshops, conferences on sustainability, and special learning events such as Sustainable Purchasing and Eco-indicators
- Breakfast presentations highlighting leaders and issues in sustainable practices
- Peer learning groups on topics such as building construction practices, eco-indicators, and investments
- Support for organizations moving toward sustainability such as coaching, briefings, a tool kit, case studies, and up-to-date information on best practices
The Network is related to The Natural Step US by an interim agreement. The national organization, based in San Francisco, works to educate and support the growing network of businesses, communities, academia, government entities, individuals, and organizations using The Natural Step framework.
